DHAKA: Polls are owed to reopen in Spain after the four main parties failed to break the political deadlock from December's unconvincing general election.

Opinion polls have suggested that Sunday's election may still not overcome the stalemate, BBC reports on Sunday (June 26).

The conservative Popular Party (PP) is tipped to win, but to fall short of a parliamentary majority.

Polls indicate the left-wing Unidos Podemos alliance is edging ahead of the Socialists (PSOE) for second place.

The two could potentially form a broad left-wing coalition. The centre-right, pro-business party Ciudadanos (Citizens) is forecast to take fourth place.

Analysts said that many voters are disillusioned and a high turnout is not expected.

December's election was a watershed for Spain, because the PP and the PSOE had previously alternated in power since the restoration of democracy in the 1970s.
